Gender Equality In Canada

Many People don’t know how awful gender inequality is. People may think that it is being handled, but its just spreading. Women don 't have as much rights as men do. Yes, it has been better than the old days, but its still atrocious in business and at home and in some countries, women can 't even walk outside without a man. This paper will be talking about when gender inequality started To happen, why genders can’t be equal, what will happen in the long run (will genders ever be equal?) and some solutions To help make genders equal.

Even girls who do enroll in school may have irregular attendance due to other demands on them, and the fact that their education may not be prioritized. Girls are more likely to repeat years, to drop out early and to fail key subjects, and in most countries girls are less likely to complete the transition to secondary schooling. Inequality in society inevitably has an impact on the provision and content of education. Hence, the need to examine and address the

Women fighting for their equality in society is still an issue in the western and non-western countries. This paper will explore women’s rights such as their employment and health rights in India and Canada as they are still very controversial issues today. India is known as a country with a patriarchal system, where inequality and gender issues of women are more frequently seen as opposed to Canada. Canada is known as a country with various types of people from several ethnic backgrounds and where equality is most commonly seen with a very few exceptions. “Urban India still faces the issue of women’s employment and reproductive rights, however, there are resources such as the ‘Action Aid’s Young Urban Women’ program to help support these poor

Why are our opinions so swayed toward men? Sexism towards women is getting better, but it 's still a problem. Men rule the world, probably because they are more likely to take risks. Girls are taught they need to be perfect, that they need to meet their expectations exactly.

This attitude results in the treatment of women as less than men and can be found just about anywhere. “Parental preference for male children in China and India has been well publicized, a prenatal preference for boys exists in the United States as well” (Atwood, Pg.24). However, it is especially prominent in smaller, less developed countries where the need for a head of household is greater. With that being said, the need for a dominating head of the household is not the only reason for the patriarchal society we see today.

The Social Epidemic of Inequality in Canada: Gender Inequality Through the years, social stratification of Canada has progressed and altered by cultural changes and social changes in society (Cummings et al. 2017). In the early 1900s, the acknowledgment of women as persons was established by the women’s suffrage movement (Strong-Boag 2016). This movement cultivated a pathway of equity for women since society was patriarchic at the time, but today gender inequality still impacts the lives of women including those of various ethnic backgrounds (Strong Boag 2016; Cummings et al. 2017). Even more, the recognition of people of different gender identities has resulted in mass awareness with the rise of LGBTQ activism (Nazish 2018). Today, contemporary culture is heavily influenced by agents of socialization such as family, religion, education and the government that impose gender stereotypes and social constructs (Cummings et al. 2017).

Gender equality not only a very important political issue to speak about, but also we talk about it almost every day in our normal daily conversations. Democracy also happens to be an interesting political topic that many people would love to be a part of. Somehow both topics combined makes a very interesting argument and they complete one another, because we can not have democracy without equality and part of being equal is having gender equality. International democratization is a huge step towards development, but also it makes us more aware about what are the roles of each gender in a democracy. Gender equality may not exist today fully, but many countries such as Canada do fight for it through institutions like the United Nations and asking we should set laws to support and promote gender equality.

According to UNESCO, “The EFA Assessment estimated that 113 million children were not enrolled in primary school in 1998 and 60% of the total are girls” (UNESCO, 2000). Furthermore, for Indian girls, education is far less significant than their virginity and purity for gaining the social status. Moreover, as a developing country, lots of Indian families will require their girls to work in order to support the family while on the other hand, boys are encouraged to go to school (Argintar, J.,

“You educate a man, you educate a man. You educate a woman, you educate a generation.” The role of women is crucial in any society and it cannot be neglected only on the basis of a common perspective that they have less power and authority. The role of women has been greatly unnoticed in the past but society is now coming to the point that women are as powerful as men and they have the ability to build the nation.

Social Exchange Theory and Gender Equality In Canada today, more than one in ten heterosexual couples have a stay at home parent- and that is the father. Since the 1970’s, the number of women in the workforce has continued to rise, and the result is that more and more fathers are stepping up to look after the kids.

The argument is made that educating women and decreasing the illiteracy rate among women worldwide will have a larger benefit than educating more men. “Because of what women do with the extra income they earn, because of the extra leverage it affords them within the family, and because of the direct effects of greater knowledge and awareness, female education has an enormous social impact .” Poor education, and more specifically social injustice, has impacted the women literacy rate

The article is valuable as it provides insight about stories where issues of gender, education and power are discussed in order to provide positive role models for girls that no matter what obstacles come their way they will not be held back from education and will thrive no matter what. This tells us that this article is written with young girls in mind alongside parents and

Girl child education is a catch-all term for a complexity of issues and debates surrounding education (primary education, secondary education, tertiary education and health education for females (Okernmor, Ndit and Filshak, 2012). The National Child Welfare Policy (1989) as cited by Ada (2001) defines the girl-child as a female below 14 years of age. The girl-child is seen as a young female person who would eventually grow into a woman and marry. The gender apartheid places the girl-child in a disadvantaged position, where her potentials are suppressed and self-actualization is not achieved.

Unfortunately, after ages of attempting to make equality, the gender gap in education still occurs. The alteration is, now boys are the ones being left behind as girls rise ahead. The culture of the classroom has reformed to become more inclusive of girls and has, in the process, become an aggressive environment for boys. Boys are the focus of disciplinary action far more frequently than girls, make up a meaningfully larger percentage of those in distinct education courses, are excessively established with attention deficit disorder and are less likely to progress from high school. In the current educational environment, it’s not a good time to be a boy.

Women have come a long way having achieved tremendous success regarding rights to education, property, family planning, reproduction and voting. Many have accepted the ridicule given to them and have continued to fight. Still, the struggle is not complete. Women still face the issue of discrimination. The glass ceiling is a form of discrimination which prevents educated, professional, well qualified, hardworking women from being promoted to higher levels in an
